My stake, which is really quite small (and is subject to a multiplier); I intend to do something about that little by little as possible.
$28.62
My updated results:
$153.42
Let's review, since my last post was, lamentably, during the last calendar year (December, albeit.) I'll compare the quoted musings of then to the current half-year progress check-in:
On December 5, 2025 I wrote: I hope 2026 will be a very interesting year. Let's get this airplane off the ground! I have made 232% profit on my investment, but I need to invest more and keep the traction going to get very good results.
My first post in this series, early in 2025, showed me at a 59% profit, and now I'm at 232%.
Now that it's 2026 (halfway through, in fact), let's update:
As of July 8, 2026, I have made 450% profit on my investment.
My first post in this series, early in 2025, showed me at a 59% profit; a year later I was at 232%, and 1.5 years into this blog I now sit at 450% profit.
Part of the reason for this outsized number is that I have withdrawn funds as I've made them.
Not dollar for dollar, but in a regular fashion that is not doing my account any favors. My stake has shrunk. Obviously I have a money-making machine going, but how can a machine work at its best when fuel is continually withdrawn from the gas tank? Amazingly, I've been able to grow the account, but I need to ADD to the account, not WITHDRAW from it, for best results.
